Beyond cultural renaissance
The rising of the Matariki constellation (also known as Pleiades) is a special time for Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand for remembering the dead, celebrating the present, and preparing the ground for the coming year. Its observation had all but ceased by 1940, but it has experienced a resurgence since the 1990s. Previous longitudinal research into media narratives about Matariki events concluded that they acted as an expression of empowerment for M…
Vakumuni vuku ni vanua (gathering the wisdom of the land)
One of the persistent challenges for researchers engaging with Indigenous communities is ensuring they communicate with the right individuals to obtain the right information. In this article, I advocate for the use of Vakumuni vuku ni vanua (gathering wisdom of the land), incorporating the 3D veivosaki (meaningful conversation) and Butu vanua (transcendence walk). These methods present culturally appropriate techniques for fieldwork research in F…
From inclusion to indigenisation
Purpose This paper argues for the inclusion of Indigenous research methodologies in diversity scholarship to (1) adequately account for and value the identity, lived experiences and concerns of Indigenous Peoples and (2) to enrich diversity theorising and scholarship by proposing new ways to think about and conduct research on difference, inclusion and belonging. We further highlight the roles non-Indigenous researchers can play in supporting Ind…

The enduring legacy of Indigenous parrhesiastes
Indigenous academics are often faced with a balancing act between the danger and risk of critiquing the institutions within which they reside, and the duty or obligation they feel to do so. As Indigenous Māori academics located within three different business schools across Aotearoa New Zealand, our work in both research and teaching is often highly critical of the institution, which can leave us exposed, vulnerable and grasping to hold onto a fr…
Enhancing the sustainability science agenda through Indigenous methodology
Navigating by the stars
This paper cultivates an approach to leisure scholarship which is more responsive to Indigenous peoples and responsibilities of translation. This study is grounded within kaupapa Māori, an Indigenous perspective specific to Aotearoa New Zealand that privileges Māori epistemology. We apply this to a longitudinal analysis of media representations of an Indigenous event (Puaka Matariki) held annually since 2004 in Ōtepoti/Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zeala…
Converging pathways of contemporary leadership
The world is a turbulent space for leaders and organisations. Leadership scandals and failures have changed views on leadership behaviour in the West. There is increased demand for more ethical leadership, inspired by ideas of humanness, and care of the well-being of all stakeholders. This article offers our conceptualisation of two emerging domains in leadership – servant leadership and Indigenous Māori leadership. Both not only have strong reso…
Advancing a pragmatist epistemology in organisational research
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the utility of a pragmatist epistemology as a viable methodological avenue for addressing the challenges associated with the normative models of science that dominate organisational management. At the same time, theorisation of a paradigm grounded in a pragmatic epistemology is presented. Design/methodology/approach The paper seeks to explore the different assumptions guiding a pragmatist epistemolo…
